tlon of the Great Borir—Some of tha
Stallion* Now at the Kauch
and Their Get.
Mr. R. E. de B. Loper., the noted
turfman of Australia, in the California
Tnrf of S»n Krancisco gives the follow
ing interesting latter about Banta Anita
and Baldwin's horses:
Never having eeen any account of the
Ranta Anita thoroughbreds, arid know-
ing that many good ones have been bred
there, I thought it would interest lovers
of the race horse to hear what ie being
bred at Lucky Baldwin's celebrated
stock farm.
I landed at Arcadia—rightly named.
I would here mention that it 10 custom
ary to speak ol Mr. K. J. Ilaldwin as be
ing a wonderfully lucky man; at tho
aame time credit is seldom, if evor, given
to hia wonderful enterprise or to his ad :
mlniatrative ability. While driving
over Hants Anita, however, I saw enough
to understand what an enormous nam of
money must have been spent in irrigat
ing tbe ranch and on other improve
ments. And the conception of tint whole
enterprise leads me to look upon Mr.
Baldwin ns a man of indomitable pluck
and enterprise.
The ranch itself is the very best horse
ranch I have visited in California, arid
I have visited all tho best; and I feel
confident that Mr. Ilaldwin ban mures
on liia ranch that will yet make a great
name.
Oqt of 52 mares now breeding there
■re 25 second to none in this etate, as far
•a conformation goes, and all aro of great
breeding; and the judgment, that se
lected the Virgil and Glenelg maren in
tbe days gone by as a nucleus of a
harem, is well rewarded by the grand
lot of young mores descended from
them.
Driving np to visit the thoroughbred
apartmen, over the gateway entering
to tbe stallion ahed is au areli on which
in large letters is painted 'The home of
Grinstead," and as it ia to him that
credit must be given for the best horses
bred here, ac well aB for the grand col
lection of brood mares and the stallions
Gano and Verano, 1 think it will not
be ontof place here to give a description
Ol the grand old horse as he now appears.
Foalod in 1871, he is 22 years old, showa
hia age, and yet although only the rem
nant of a great sire, when yon look him
over, what a grand old wreck he is. A
beautiful brown bay, standing on the
Shortest of lege, with excellent feet, logs
•nd jointß, he covers a lot of ground. A
grand old head and eye with a rangy
neck, beautifully placed shoulders, big
body and nicely shaped qnarters, be
looks what he waa—a race horae. His
muscular development in on tbe wane, of
course, yet there is small wonder that
he has been such a success at the stud.
But the old fellow now never looks*
at or takes notice of a mare, and
to all out ward appearancea be might be
• geldiug; bnt in view of the fact tbat
old Wrinatead has done ao much for
r.alilnvnt*. t* — -M' tv, nut rd „Un«
here to copy irom Col. S. P.Biuc.en
Horae Breeders' Guide what he has to
say about the great stallion :

trict coarse, Cal., he *was second in the
Wise Plate, a post strfke, four .miles, won

As a 5-year old he' only started once
and was unplaced.
Grinstead is a blood bay horse, full W
bands, of great substance and power,
with excelled shoulders, good body and
strong, well-placed back, hips and loinH.
He waa a good, honest race horse and
comes from a running family, which also
has Buric, Alaric, Vandal, Lexington,
Monitor, Lake Blackburn and a hoat of
other good onea descended from it.
Tbe next I inapected waa Gano, by
Grinstead, from Santa Anita, by Vir
gil, second dam Mary Martin by Lexing
ton; third dam Alice Jones by imported
(ilencoo; fourth dam Blue Bonnet by
imported Hedgafard; fifth dam Gray
Fanny by ISertrand. He is a bay horae
with black points, and rattier a plain
head, more like tbe Virgils, strong neck,
fairly oblique ahonldera, deep girth,
strong-back, witb big quartere and ex
cellent Becond thighs, lln has a good
quality ol bone and atands on short legs.
He mnch resemblea hia son l'escador,
und was a good race horse in hia day.
Aa ft '-'-year-old he ran third in a purge
of |500 at Sheepshead Bay, aix furlonga,
won by Breeze in I :ltf'..; first in a hand
icap Sweepstakes, aix fnrlongs, in 1:16! 4 ';
aecond at Jerome Bark, six furlongs:
first at Baltimore, one mile, 105 pounds;
I first at llaltimore, 110 pounds, one mile;
first in the California stakes, four fur
longs, in 51 seconds; first in the Connor
Stakes, six fnrlongs, in 1:15; first in tlie
Finigan Stakee, one mile, with 110
pounds. In all he started 11 timea, win
ning six, aecond in one, third in one, un
placed in three —earning $7005.
As a 3-year-old ho ran firat in one mile
at San Francisco; first in the Winters

a purse, San Francisco, one mile: first
in tbe Spirit of the Times Stakes at one

At 4 years be won a milevirace in Chi

one, second in two, third in four and un
placed in five.
In his wholij career he started 28 times,
winning 11 races, second in 4, third in 5
nnd unplaced in . This is truly a good
showing. Having won nt one and three
quarters miles, this horse should make a
successful sire; but there are so few mares
he ctn be mated with on thu rancb, that
the horse has no chance to show what
ho ie. II he wero in one of the eastern
breeding establishments he would make
for himself.
Veratio waa next brought out. A
chestnut horse foaled in 1882 by Grin
stead from Jennie I). by imp Glenelg,
second dam Kegan by Lexington, third
dflm Lorette by imp. Sovereign, fonrtl
dam Neary Ogden by Thnrnhill, fifth

dam l'arrot by Randolph's Roanoke
seventh dam Paroquet by imp. Merry
Held, eighth dam imp. mare br Popia
jay. lie is a handsome horse, but he
lacks substance, lie has a beautifn
head and eye, long tapering neck, w
E laced shoulders, good legs and joints
ut over his coupling he is light, and hi
ribs have not suUicient spring. His
quarters are not an well developed as
Gano's, nevertheless he iias a
very promising yearling colt out
of Caham Queen, and a partic
ularly tine colt foaled from Hermora.
1 have no doubt but tbat if this horse
were in some stud where he would he
an outcross he would get some salable
and useful stock. On tho turf Vorano,
as a 2-year-old, won the Nursery
stakes at Chicago, one mile, ran second
iin tho Kenwood stakes, tivo furlongs.
He won tbe Hyde Park stakes, six fur
longs, won purse at nix fur

ing unplaoed in his other races.
Rutherford is no longer used in the
stud, having been relegated to another
ranch.
The Emperor of Norfolk, Mr. Bald
win's greatest favorite, was next brought
out. A big bay horse, standing over Hi
hands, is he, and looks every inch a
race horse. His great loin and quarters
and nicely shaped barrel attract one's
notice at once. He was a really fast
performer in his day. Indeed, in the
year he beat liaceland in the Hyde Park
stakes he was the sensation of the
American turf.
The Emperor, aB he is called, ,waa
bred by Mr. Theodore Winjters, and is

only two, w inning in all $02,400.
The last sire brought out, but not the
least, was the Australian, "The Hook,"
a brown horse 22 years old, purchased
in April, 1801. It was hardly expected
that he would jjave served three seasons
sb he has already done, but the old fel
low is an vigorous as a colt; and although
be is much shrunken he still shows him
self to bs a hard, muscular, lengthy fol
| low, with a good, honest bead and eye,
thr best o! legs, and throughout showing
great quality.
The of one of the great
est families in tbe world; in fact it is
doubtful if any other bo successful a
famijy could be found in the history nf
tbe thoroughbred. His sire, Fishhook,

wan one of tbe greatest race horsea
Anat'alia ever produced, he being by the
renowned Fisherman — the greatest
Qacen'i Plate winner England ever pro
duced. He was oat ol Marchioness,
winner of The Oaks, and sitter to The
Pc r. aire of imported Darebin from
Cinir.elli by Touchstone, from Brocade
by I'antelon, Juliet the dam of Tbe
Hook was by Tonchatone from Lan
cashire Witch, by Tomboy. Juliet waa
undoubtedly the Pocahontas of tbe
southern hemisphere; she left behind
her two daughters whose excellence-and
longevity have very aeldom been ex
celled. Chrysolite by Stockwell —dam
of Robinson Crusoe, who died at the
age of 29 years, havingproduced 24 foale.

yeara of age, having produced 25 foale,
great racehorses.
Mr. Frank Wood now offered to ahow
me over the brood mares with foala.
Beginning at a large barley paddock
were the mares, and in company with
Mr. Wood I walked quietly through
them, The first to catch my eye waa
Niente, a chestnnt mare, own«sister to
Volante, and a treasure she is. Witb a
white streak down her face, lengthy and
muscular with plenty of size and qual
ity, sbo is an ideal brood mare and looks
ns if eho should have been a race mare.
Hhe has already proved what she will
throw by her 2-year-old filly by Cheviot,
and ehe now has at foal a very pro
miaing filly by The Emperor, with big
lusty quarters, and iaetinted this season
to The Hook.
I.illita, by Rutherford from Maggie
Kmmereon, is a bay mare with a heavy
middle piece. Sbe does not strike one
oa a great mare, but being the dam
of Lucky B. should breed well. She is
evidently a poor milker. She has a bay
colt by Gano and ia stinted to him
again.
Arltta, by Virgil from Lavs, by imp.
Australian, second dam Lavender, by
Wagner, ia>a brown mare decidedly lack
ing in aubatance; Rhi!, a wiry looking
one. She is the dam of Lady Bess, and
has at foal an own brother by The Em
peror and is stinted to him again.
Jennie 8., own sister to Jennie D., the
dam of Vernno and herself a winner, iB
a very fine chostnutrnare, and, if appear
ance goes for anything, ahould be a great
producer. She is by Glenelg ironi Began,
by Lexington. She haß now at foot a
bay colt by The Hook that looks like a
race horse, and lies been already served
this year by The Emperor.
Sister Anne, dam of Volante and own
sister to Clara I), is a particularly fine
bay mare, with nny amount of sub
stance, by imp. Glenelg from The Nun
by Lexington, Becond dam Novice, by
Glencne, third dam Chloe Anderson, by
Kodolph, etc, She has a very neat
chestnut fijly at foal, by The Hook,
Blowing hia sire's Touchstone blood in
Ub white face nnd throe white legs. She
has been served by Qano. This foal
will have Lexington in his second dam
cm both Bides. I would rather not; but
Mr. Wood haa no choice, seeing the
breeding of hie sires.
Glenitn. by imp. Glenelg from Lark,
by Lexington, second dam Laura, by
imported Gleucoe, is a particularly nice
bay mare, Bhowing great quality, and
has a raking chestnut colt at foot that
looks like making a race horae. Thiß
foal justifies Mr. Wood in having put
her back to The Hook.
Jennie D, dam of Verano end own
f>;y"mare T tßKrrmou"ia *l)s*
ihicer. She ie by imp. Glenelg, dam
Kegan, by Lexington. Bhe has a mag
nificent chestnut (illy at fobt by The
I look, that shown what an outcross will
do. I regret that she has not gone back
to Tho Hook, but she is served by The
Emperor.
Miss Ford—small wonder she was a
great race mare—is va magnificent bay
with great back and thighs, perfect
shoulders, head and neck, great joints,
legs and feet, and stands with her legs
under her like a race horse, and is fully
I I inches higher over her croup than
shoulder. She is nn Enquirer from
Bribery, by Bonnie Scotland, second
dam Tallulah, by Planet, third dam
Mazurka, by Lexington. She has a*
foot a strikingly fine bay colt that" prom
ises to bo a great horse, if conformation
and bone goes for anything. He is by
The Hook, and Bmall wonder ehe has
boen served by him again. lie is the
finest colt in the place.
Ophir is a, gray mare, while there is
nothing abont her to enthnae over, she
nevertheless is a useful sort of nag for a
hurdle job at which she was pretty good.
She is by Baywood from Lag by Load
stone, second dam La Brnna by imp.,
Scythian. She hai not as yet been suc
cessful as a brood mare, but has at pres
ent a very good looking bay filly With
two white legs by The Hook at foot, and
is served by him again.
Belinda iB a brown mare with white
hind legs, and looks a useful sort of mare
for a bug"gy, certainly not fit to grace the
Santa Anita paddock any more than
Ophir, and she is by Belmont from Lady
Spring by Chickaree, second dam Lady
Fremont by Rock, third dam said to be
by imported Glencoe. She has a pretty
little foal by Glencoe, and is served by
Tbe Hook.
Hermosa ia an enormous big chestnut
mare, with white face and hind legs,
s'howing,great back and thighs, and par
ticularly well suited to breed to Verano,
by whom ehe has an excellent chestnut
colt, with three white legs and face.
She ia by Lexington from Athola by
Glen Atbol, second dam Annette by
Lexington, third dam Alice Jones by
imp. Glencoe. She has been served by
Verano.

much resembling Senator Stanford's
Fairy Rose, is by Ten Broeck, dam Mary
L, by Voucher, second dam Kate Leon
ard by Epsiion, third dam Bet)y Moore
by Tom Moore, has n bay filly at foot by
Gano, with his sire's fine hind quarters.
She is Berved by The Hook.
Atlanta 11., a lone, low mare, Hhowlng
lots of quality, hard and muscular, is by
Grinstead from, blossom by Virgil, sec
ond dam Blunder by Lexington, third
darn Blonde by Imp. Glencoe. This
mare should make a name. At present
Bhe has a bay tilly at foot by The Em
peror, rather lengthy on the leg. She is
served by tho Hook.
Orange Leaf is a good useful chestnut
mare, by Rutherford from Fallen Leaf
by Grinstead from Molly McCarty, need
I go further? She has a chestnut filly
by tbe Emperor at foot a likely looking
one; and Bhe has been served by the
Hook.
Maricopa, a great massive big bay
mare with white hind legs, is own
hister to Hermosa (see above). She has
a tilly at foot by Amigo.
Banta Anita Bella is a full sister to
Gano. She is a brown bay covering o,
lot of ground, with lots of quality, she
has a very good filly at foot by tho
Emperor and is served by him again.
Having inspected all the mares with
foale, we returned to a small lot near
the race course, where two mares heavy
in foal were located. Here I Baw Alan.

excellent bead and very muscular, b

As I always judge mares and sires b
results, I consider this tbe best mare o
the place—tbat is, of the tried mare
Her 2 year-old by Cheviot is nndonb
edly the very best of his age, end he
yearling by The Hook stands alon
among the yearlings. She is heavy I
foal to the Emperor, and will probabl
visit The Hook.
Santa Anita by Virgil, from Merr
Martin, is the dam of (iano and Bant
Anita Belle. She is a big brown mar
with rather a plain head, bnt all over
brood mare. She Is heavy in foal t
The Hook, and visits him again.
La Cieniga, by Grinstead from Jenni
D, and consequently own Bister to Ver
ano, is undoubtedly cne of the fines
lookers on the ranch. She is a big bay
with black points, and is-very muscular
showing greatquality. She is in foal to
The Emperor, and goes to The Hook,
and should suit him well.
Janova is own sister to the above, and
is also a very fine bay mare with black
points. -She ia in foal to The Emperor,
and visits The Hook.
Grey Annie iB a grey mare by Ruther
ford from Ophir, and does little credit to
either. She is in foal to Gano and
visits The Hook.
Glorita by Virgil. See is a very fine
mare, In fact everything you can desire
in a brood mare. She is in foal to Ami-
go, arid goes to Verano.
A neat chestnut mare, rather on the
small order hut handsome, by Hock
Hocking, dam's name I did net ascer
tain, ib the only mare in foal to Ruther
ford ; and as she has a fine yearling ti'ly

Italian, second dam Miranda by Lexibg
ton, third dam Miriam, by imported
Glencoe. She has been bred to The Em
peror.
Winona and Rosobud are both usefnl
looking bay rnarea with shelly backs;
bnt, being own sisters to Santa Ana and

thing good. They are by Grinstead,
